Archbishop Purcell is failing rapidly under the weight of years and
the great calamity which has overtaken his diocese. He has given up all
attempts to administer the affairs of the Church and is in retirement at a
convent in Brown county, Ohio. According to recent reports he has grown so

A little over one year ago Mrs. Brown, living near Newhope, Brown
County, Ohio, gave birth to three children - two girls and one boy. These
children are all alive now, and are sprightly, healthy children. Two weeks
ago from this time (May 16) Mrs. Turner, not to be outdone by her
neighbor, gave birth to three bouncing boys - all of whom are living, sound and
healthy. The strange part of the matter is, both these women live within
two miles of each other, which seems to suggest the idea of a sort of family
strife in that neighborhood. These children weighed, soon after birth 7
1/2 pounds each - 21 1/2 pounds for the three. |

FATAL FAMILY FEUD
Double Murder in a Court Room at Hammersville, Ohio, Caused by An Unjust Will.
HAMERSVILLE, OHIO, Sept. 10. A terrible tragedy
occurred here during the trial of the case of George Barngrover vs.
Joseph Hiller, before Justice Vandament. A Mr. Hilerdied some
months ago leaving a will in which he devised most of his property to two of his
sons and two daughters, to the exclusion of other children. There has been
talk of contesting the will and much bitterness has been manifested. This
was a case for damages under an alleged breach of contract between Joseph
Hiler and Barngrover, who was one of the sons-in-law of Mr. Hiler.
During the trial Constable I. N. Allen, another son-in-law stepped to the
door, when a pistol shot was heard. Allen
CAME STAGGERING INTO THE ROOM
and fell across the chair, exclaiming: "John Hiler did it."
Before the terrorized spectators could realize what had happened the murderer
was seen standing in the middle of the crowded court room, and fired a second
shot, which took effect in the right breast of George Barngrover, passing
entirely through his body. The excitement was indescrible, the court room
being crowded with men and women. As Hiler rushed from the court
room into the darkness he was heard to remark: "I have
LOADS FOR TWO MORE MEN."
It is understood that he meant by the remark John Hiler, jr. cousin
to the murderer, and an important witness in the case, and Attorney W. F.
McBeth, who has charge of the case for the plaintiff. The town is
aroused and searching for the murderer, who is still at large.
